Eighteen Steps To A Successful Relationship

Communication

is the key
to any successful relationship;
Your lover needs
acknowledgment,

R-E-S-P-E-C-T

Just a little is not enough.
Remember
her name.

Trust
is essential.
Empathise.
Surprise her.
Together be
sad,
be glad,
have fun.
Good sex.
Smile,
cook,
clean,
wash clothes and dishes.
Don't relentlessly reprimand her on her chosen habits.
If she can't pay then
pay the rent.
And don't forget, before you leave  
to smother her with tender kisses.
